Popular around Overskov
Sostrup is an island fortress built on an artificial island of granite rocks and hundreds of oak piles. The posts are intended to retain moisture so that they do not become porous. Therefore, it is important that the moat does not dry out. Many noble families owned Sostrup in the past. The powerful Scheel family owned the castle from 1612 for 211 years. At that time, the castle was called Skeel, after the original spelling of the family name. The last member of the Scheel family to own the castle was Jørgen Scheel, the Wild Count. He traveled for 15 years on several study trips through Europe and brought cultural currents to Sostrup: artworks, 11,600 books, furniture, hand-painted wallpaper, etc. In 1960, a group of Cistercian nuns took over the castle and transformed it into a monastery. In 1992, the Maria Hjerte Monastery and the Maria Hjerte Church were established under the leadership of Abbess Theresa Brenninkmeijer. In 2013, the abbess and 26 nuns left the monastery and Denmark. Today, Sostrup Castle is owned by Thomas Kirk Kristiansen, the fourth generation of the Lego family. He bought the castle on January 1, 2025, and the castle now focuses on magic and adventure in the "Drakonheart" project – a camp for children with unique abilities and high creativity. The castle is not open to the public. https://www.visitaarhus.de/region-aarhus/reiseplanung/schloss-und-kloster-sostrup-gdk605633

The striking white castle, which dates back to 1573 in its core, is located in a picturesque forest and nature landscape near Glesborg. The castle itself is privately owned and actively used for forestry and agriculture. Therefore, the interiors cannot be visited. However, the beautifully landscaped Meilgaard Slotspark is accessible to the public. You can take wonderful walks here and admire the estate from the outside. The historic restaurant Meilgaard Slotskro is located on the grounds, offering Danish cuisine in a stately ambiance.
